I genuinely cannot exaggerate how bad this job was basically I was sorting through people's garbage because apparently no one understands what donating clothes to charity shops really means plus my boss was the worst person I have ever known and also I was depersonalised for the whole year and my depression was the most severe it has ever been

•

This is what a clothing/donation bin is if you are unfamiliar

Basically when you've outgrown your STILL WEARABLE clothes you put them CLEAN in one of these and they go off to a second hand store where they are sold on for cheap to people who need/want cheap clothing OR they are given away for free to people who really need them.

•

So much mould

Seriously. The amount of clothing that was damp or stunk with mould is fuckin unbelievable. Some of it rock hard like it had been wet and mouldy and then dried. TWICE I had washing baskets full of wet, mouldy clothes that had been washed but some fucker was too lazy/much of a cunt to dry

•

Hypodermic needles

So cool so safe I didn't nearly hurt myself on these

•

Used pads/sanitary towels

Usually still attached to underpants like really???

•

Containers of mouldy food

Don't ever donate food by putting it in one of these bins I mean that should be fucking obvious but apparently not

•

Rotten meat

Like raw and green

•

So much glass

I had so many cuts on my hands always and I was constantly taking antibiotics just to be safe

•

A dog bone

Like not the type that a dog eats or whatever it was part of a dog

•

SO MANY USED CONDOMS

Like good job bein safe with the sex but don't put them in there!!!

•

Shitty underpants

Yup gr888

•

A bloodstained shirt with stab holes through it

Fucking terrifying

•

A bucket full of mussel shells

Stunk so bad I spent days trying to figure out where in my workspace (which was like 100m x 15m size) the smell was comin from

•

Clothing stained/wet with cat piss/human piss

Cool so wearable and reusable

•

Curtains rolled up and right at the centre was approx. 200 cigarette butts

The smell stayed in my nose for days I s2g I thought the air would never be fresh again

•

A half empty tube of lube

Like no one wants your leftover lube, buddy

•

Literal bags of trash

Like that's as plain as I can put it, it was like they'd missed rubbish day and so they chucked their rubbish into donation bins so they wouldn't have to have it at their house

•

Hundreds of tiny fly eggs

I tried to fucking crush them all but I missed some and when I got to work the next day (32°C heat btw) they had hatched and there were a fuckin hundred flies everywhere

•

Loose dirt/soil

Also mud stained clothing and shoes like the kind where it's breaking off and crumbling and shit ugh

•

...

•

BUT I WAS LUCKY THIS NEXT PART IS WHAT MY COWORKER FOUND

•

A deer carcass

A SKINNED DEER SOME PERSON HAD LITERALLY THROWN A SKINNED DEER INTO A CLOTHING BIN

•

A very used flesh light

WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU DONATE THIS

•

Multiple vibrators/dildos

Have you ever seen these sold at a second hand shop no because WHY WOULD YOU

•

Multiple dead cats

p sure they were cats that had climbed their way in and then died inside the bins not like cats that were killed and donated

•

Dead dog

Definitely thrown in dead

•

Maggots

Some with the deer carcass others with all of the other dead animals plus also the meat thankfully I never found maggots

•

And also all or most of the stuff I found because that shit is never ending

•

...

•

Also I am p sure that I heard on the news last year that a dead human body was found in one??? Not sure if that was here in NZ or maybe Australia but like I can't I just I can't
